“Kelsey and her family took care of my dog for 3 weeks and I don’t think I could have found a more loving and perfect family to care for my dog. I got daily photo updates and after seeing the way they treated my dog like a part of the family I had ZERO worries. Best dog sitter in the Omaha area!”
“Rita and Brian are caring, highly competent dog lovers. My Emmie absolutely loves them, and I always feel 100% comfortable leaving her in their care. An added bonus is how they have worked to help Emmie overcome her reluctance to trust other dogs. I'm very grateful!”
“I love my puppies more than anything, so naturally I don't trust just anyone to care for them. So I panicked when I had to go to a convention in Las Vegas. That's when a friend recommended Rover. Thankfully, out of the multitude of people on Rover, I found Emily. She, and her husband, have been truly wonderful in every respect. They took excellent care of my puppies, fed them on time, took them on walks, have them plenty of toys and stimulation, and sent amazing pics regularly. I couldn't ask for better people to watch my dogs. I'll certainly be working with them again for my dog watching needs. Thank you very much for everything Emily!”
“Fantastic care provided for our shitzu with updates and pictures. We were confident our little guy was in great hands and wouldn’t hesitate to book again.”
“Loni did great with my boy! He is always a nervous wreck when I leave.... Loni did great in making sure to give him some space and give a comfortable environment. She had great communication throughout the day as well. Even sent a few pics, which was nice! Highly recommended!”
“We found a treasure when we asked Kelly and Ben to help watch our dog while we were out of town! They love that she wanted to meet our Daisy before we made the final arrangements. That gave us such peace of mind. Our pup walked into their beautiful home, and she instantly felt comfortable. Their home is warm and gave us a feeling that our dog would be so well loved while we had to be out of town. Kelly also showed how much she cared and how knowledgeable she is by asking all the right questions and loving on Daisy like she was already a part of their family. Communication was terrific too! We received pictures throughout the weekend of Daisy on walks and being her sweet and silly self with Kelly’s family too! We are so happy with the experience that we already scheduled another time out of town - knowing that our Daisy girl will be totally spoiled and cared for while we are gone. Thank you to Kelly and her family for loving our dog like we do!❤️”
“Kirsten and Nicolas were great! They sent pics during the whole stay and were very communicative. They also have a fenced in back yard that they let the dogs run around in. They updated us when the pups appetites were low, which I really appreciated. Both of our dogs tend to be anxious without us because they aren’t used to used to being alone, so it was also a big plus that they work from home. In the past we have had to send our pups to kennels because we don’t have friends or family near by who can watch them. They would be locked in a kennel all day and we would literally have to pay extra for belly rubs or time out of the kennel. I usually feel uneasy the whole trip but not this time. I could tell they were well taken care of and treated like one of their own. Thank you so much Kirsten and Nicolas!”
“Angela was great. This was our first time using this app and she was amazing. Very communicative, sent pictures and updates and even gave Frosty a bath. I would recommend and definitely return to Angela again. Frosty loved it!!”
“For the first time ever, I had to leave my dog son for more than a day and I was definitely very uncertain on this whole you know . I couldn’t have asked for a better family to watch over my best friend and care for him like they did. Had me at ease while I was gone the whole time if you’re looking for the same reassurance, I was looking no further!”
“Our pup’s one week stay with John and Shannon was excellent. They provided lots of outdoor time and walks for our very active dog, and provided daily updates. Highly recommended.”
“Sally you are the best with care of my pups! They are eager to enter your home, and clearly enjoyed your company and social time! They come back tired, loving your yard and in great health. Thank you so much! JO”
“Shorey had a great time staying with Nicole! She was able to play outside a lot with Nicole’s pup and was tuckered out when she got home, which was great! Great communication the entire time.”
“Lauren took great care of Zuri! She has a great space for dogs, handled medications/other needs well, was flexible with a last-minute booking, and sent frequent updates and pictures. We will definitely be back in the future!”
“Kristine was our first ever Rover experience. She and her family were so loving and engaged with our dog. She sent daily updates and pictures and went out of her way to make sure we knew our dog was having a great time while we were away. We intend to reach out to her again in the future and would recommend her to everyone. So much care and kindness!”
“Jasmine was amazing with my dog Kobe! She kept me up to date sending pics and informing me of his stay which made me felt relieved he was in great care. I totally plan on boarding my pup with her and her family again on future trips!”
“My dog had a great time at Nicholas & Emily's and I appreciate receiving several pictures and updates every day of his stay. Would definitely recommend their services.”
“Angela was a 100 out of 10! I don’t even think our dog wanted to come home after spending the week with her and her lovely family. We received great photos and updates on our girl daily which made it really easy to enjoy our vacation. As an extremely particular couple, with no children, Lux is the center of our universe and felt completely at ease while she was with Angela. We’ve found someone who we can completely trust and there is no greater feeling than being able to truly relax and know the most important price of your heart is being cared for. Thank you Angela and family!!! Lux misses you already!”
“I have left my elderly (but active) dog with Will and Bibiana twice so far for week-long trips, and he really seems to love it there! They’re very accommodating and send daily updates/pictures. They have a nice outdoor area for him, as well as lots of areas for him to lounge inside. They also took him on walks. Their home seems very clean too. I cannot recommend them enough!”
“Leslie is a very caring pet sitter (and person). Her love of dogs is evident and a great attribute for a pet sitter. This was our first time staying with Leslie and we have already booked another stay. I feel fortunate to have found Leslie and feel very comfortable leaving my dog in her care.”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Delaware is $45

Alex is an amazing pup sitter! We left our 1-1/2 year old golden retriever with her for a few days, and he seemed happy and content there. Alex sent daily updates with photos and videos of our dog happily playing with her dog in their nice fenced-in back yard. Our pup seemed to especially enjoy the big basket of dog toys she had available! I’d highly recommend Alex if you need a place for your pooch to stay, worry-free.
We were really nervous about leaving Ollio with someone we didn’t know before, but already at our first meeting with Kristin,her wonderful family,and their warm home,we knew that Ollio would be in great hands with them. This was confirmed every day by the photos and videos that Kristin thoughtfully sent us. She answered every question we had quickly, with a lot of patience and care. Kristin and Nate,along with their kids,are true dog lovers! Thank you so much! I will definitely hire Kristin again!
Ishlamar was very accommodating and listened to all of our needs for our pup, Sadie. She also was very communicative and sent regular updates with photos throughout the entire weekend. Sadie seemed very happy and healthy when we picked her up. We would absolutely book with Ishlamar again in the future!

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Delaware
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Delaware on Rover is $33.3 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 893 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Delaware. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
94% of Delaware sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Delaware landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Delaware home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Delaware.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Delaware sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in OH ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
